Obama’s people did this….. maybe on purpose….. Disarmed sworn L.E.O.’s.

Investigators with the Library’s Office of the Inspector General have raised a string of objections after Congress stripped them of their ability to buy and carry firearms.
Though the office has carried firearms in the course of its duties for the past 15 years, and inspector general agents at other federal agencies do the same, lawmakers inserted language into the fiscal year 2009 omnibus spending bill, which was signed into law in March, that prohibited the library’s officers from using federal funds to “purchase, maintain or carry” firearms.
====================
Sworn L.E.O.’s disarmed.
Is this the barn door starting to open so far that the hinges break to an irreparable state, or is this just because of what may be a brand new pissing contest between agencies in a Statist/Fascist government out of control ?
Does anybody else have even a remote clue what’s in that “stimulus” legislation ?
WILL SOMEBODY TELL ME WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON IN OUR COUNTRY ?!?!?!?!?!?

Amy Miller (Diary) Tuesday, June 9th at 10:21PM EST (link)I know Congress is powerful, but since when is it kosher for them to slip two sentences into an Omnibus bill that disarms members of a federal law enforcement agency? What’s next? Shutting down the CIA? Replacing FBI agents’ guns with billy clubs? (I’m looking at YOU, city of London PD…)
I might be wrong, but their “separation of powers” argument makes no sense. If that is indeed the case, they shouldn’t be able to investigate things in the library of congress, right?
This is just another punch in the face. They’re doing it because they can, and they’ll continue to pull crap like this until someone stands up and kicks a little a**.

Yesterday proved why this is a bad idea.

The hottest places in hell are reserved for those who, in times of great moral crisis, maintain their neutrality.
